5.56X45 WINCHESTER 62 GRAIN FMJ M855 (500 ROUNDS)

About This Winchester 5.56x45mm Ammunition

Five hundred rounds of American-made 5.56x45 M855 ammunition? Why, that’s all you need to load sixteen 30-round magazines and still have some change left over for the bus ride home! (Assuming your bus driver accepts ammo as currency.)

This is Winchester’s military-grade M855 spec ammunition. Most importantly, that means it will attract a magnet. But the solid steel beneath the FMJ jacket’s tip actually serves an important purpose! The “penetrator” bullet lives up to its name because its tip is solid enough to bore through 1/8” thick sheet metal at ranges up to about 2,000 feet. The bullet’s 62 grain weight also gives it greater momentum, which can help it to penetrate deeper as well as resist wind deflection.

There’s nothing magnetic about this ammo’s cases, though. Those are brand new and pure brass cases, and they only look a little weather-beaten because they have been heat-treated for added robustness without getting polished up afterward. Pop out these cases’ spent primers and you’ll be all set to breathe life back into them at your reloading station. Free S&H!
